Details

With recent versions of "flextable" and Pandoc, huxtables can be automatically outputted from rmarkdown word_document and/or powerpoint_presentation documents. (Powerpoint presentations require pandoc version >= 2.4.0.)

as_FlexTable is deprecated and calls as_flextable with a warning.

Properties are supported, with the following exceptions:

  • Rotation of 0, 90 or 270 is supported.

  • Non-numeric column widths and row heights are not supported.

  • Table height, wrap, captions and table position are not supported.

  • Border style "double" is not supported and becomes "solid".
